TORRINGTON – Bill Law, Goshen County fire warden, announced last Wednesday that the county commissioners approved, at their board meeting, a measure to lift the fire ban on all state and private lands in Goshen County.

“Though we have approved lifting the fire ban,” Law said in a released statement, “[this] action does not mean the fire danger is gone. Conditions are still dry. All residents, landowners and outdoorsmen need to apply common sense and practice fire safety with camp fires and other outdoor burning.”
